lol - isn't it though?

I had time to think about this and I would like to trade
Both ELP albums for "Inside Emerson Lake & Palmer 1970-1995"
because I have to add."Romantic Warrior..Return To Forever"

But seriously, just give me my ipod and I'm fine!!!!! I don't want to be limited to just albums, though.


Just make sure you get the one with the solar panel, with an umbrella that shoots out from the side, and a cocktail bar, and a self-erecting hut...seriously, photo ipods, video ipods. One day we'll forget that ipods are actually for listening to music.

YOU PICKED YOSHIMII!!! I'm so proud!

Am I alone on this island?????????  it may impact my choices

If i am alone on this island, can I trade in my ten albums for ten smokin' hot babes? ;D

[quote author=whis

obviously that ain't gonna happen, but I'm thinking I may want my ten albums to be hotties so I can at least have the voices.
Maybe I'll need albums from:
Olivia Newton John
Lita Ford
Alanis Morissette
Jewel
Beyonce



Out of those, I think I'd only be able to stand Jewel.

Jewel is such a sweet lil rock star babe, but sometimes she does that weird inflection with her voice, and then does the babytalk thing in the song Hands, but it's kind of sexy cuz it's her.
